If a thing is worth doing, it is worth doing well. If it is worth having, it is worth waiting for. If it is worth attaining, it is worth fighting for. If it is worth experiencing, it is worth putting aside time for.

I folkviseton
kuvas av intet i världen.
Rosor slår ut ur den hårdaste mark
som sol över mörka gärden.
Mitt hjärta är ditt,
ditt hjärta är mitt
och aldrig jag lämnar det åter.
Min lycka är din,
din lycka är min
och gråten är min när du gråter.

Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way
And the world's alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it's gonna be

från en stygg flicka
Tuesday, April 16, 2013
Ja visst gör det ont (karin boye)
Varför skulle annars våren tveka?
Varför skulle all vår heta längtan
bindas i det frusna bitterbleka?
Höljet var ju knoppen hela vintern.
Vad är det för nytt, som tär och spränger?
Ja visst gör det ont när knoppar brister,
ont för det som växer
och det som stänger.
Ja nog är det svårt när droppar faller.
Skälvande av ängslan tungt de hänger,
klamrar sig vid kvisten, sväller, glider -
tyngden drar dem neråt, hur de klänger.
Svårt att vara oviss, rädd och delad,
svårt att känna djupet dra och kalla,
ändå sitta kvar och bara darra -
svårt att vilja stanna
och vilja falla.
Då, när det är värst och inget hjälper,
Brister som i jubel trädets knoppar.
Då, när ingen rädsla längre håller,
faller i ett glitter kvistens droppar
glömmer att de skrämdes av det nya
glömmer att de ängslades för färden -
känner en sekund sin största trygghet,
vilar i den tillit
som skapar världen.

sonst siehst du den Sternenhimmel nicht.
Für dich dreh' ich so lang an der Erde,

Für dich mach ich jeden Tag unendlich,

Für dich wein' und schrei und lach und leb ich,
und das alles nur für dich.

Invictus
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

You and I, tonight!
You may forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.
When you have done, pray tell me
That I my thoughts may dim;
Haste! lest while you're lagging.
I may remember him!

romeo & juliet
And I can't do a love song, like the way it's meant to be.
I can't do everything, but I'll do anything for you.
I can't do anything, 'cept be in love with you!
And all I do is miss you and the way we used to be.
All I do is keep the beat... and bad company.
Now all I do is kiss you through the bars of a rhyme,
Juliet, I'd do the stars with you any time!

Crossing the Bar
And one clear call for me!
And may there be no moaning of the bar,
When I put out to sea,
But such a tide as moving seems asleep,
Too full for sound and foam,
When that which drew from out the boundless deep
Turns again home
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark;
For though from out our bourne of Time and Place
The flood may bear me far,
I hope to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed the bar.
(Alfred Tennyson)

And the white rose breathes of love
O the red rose is a falcon
And the white rose is a dove
But I send you a cream-white rosebud
With a flush on its petal lips
For the love that is purest and sweetest
Has a kiss of desire on the lips

Too deeply to tell.

here you come again...
Just when I'm about to make it work without you
You waltz right in the door
Just like you done before
And wrap my heart round your little finger
Here you come again
Just when I'm about to make it work without you
You look into my eyes
And light those dreamy eyes
And pretty soon I'm wonderin
How I came to doubt you
All you gotta do
Is smile that smile
And there go all my defenses
Just leave it up to you
And in a little while
Youre messin up my mind
An fillin up my senses
Here you come again
Lookin better than a body
Has a right to
An shakin me up so
That all I really know
Is here you come again
An here I go

globalisation at its best
Question: What is the truest definition of Globalization?
Answer: Princess Diana's death.
Question: How come?
Answer: An English princess with an Egyptian boyfriend crashes in a French tunnel, driving a German car with a Dutch engine, driven by a Belgian who was drunk on Scottish whisky, followed closely by Italian Paparazzi, on Japanese motorcycles; treated by an American doctor, using Brazilian medicines.
This is sent to you by an African, using Bill Gates' - (an American) technology, and you're probably reading this on your computer, that use Taiwanese chips, and a Korean monitor, assembled by Bangladeshi workers in a Singapore plant, transported by Indian lorry-drivers, hijacked by Indonesians, unloaded by Pakistani men, and trucked to you by Mexicans ...sent to you by a person in Zimbabwe. You are now reading it in Sweden
That, my friend, is Globalization.

ten cuidado con el corazón
Luces frias de diamantes
angel o demonio tu
caes del cielo azul
lentamente igual que un blues
no, no llores asi
Aire casi irrespirable
calles del atardecer
mitad hombre con mujer
flaco mas que un alfiler
no, no llores asi
Ten cuidado con el corazon
aqui abajo en este mundo material
te defiendes o te van a destrozar
por nada
Ten cuidado con el corazon
con las alas y con todo lo demas
un descuido y te pueden desplumar

Well, listen up, stud,Your life's been wasted
'til you've got' down on your knees and tasted
A red-headed woman, a red-headed woman.
It takes a red-headed woman to get a dirty job done.
Tight skirt, strawberry hair
Tell me what you've got, baby, waiting under there.
Big green eyes that look like, son, They can see every cheap thing that you ever done.
Well, I don't know how many girls you dated, man
You ain't lived 'til you've had your tires rotated
By a red-headed woman, a red-headed woman.

"Bobby Sue gave it to me" Bubba replied.
"She gave it to you? I knew she was kinda sweet on ya, but a new truck?"
"Well, Jimmy Joe, let me tell you what happened. We were driving out on County Road 6, in the middle of nowhere. Bobby Sue pulled off the road, put the truck in 4-wheel drive, and headed into the woods. She parked the truck, got out, threw off all her clothes and said, 'Bubba, take whatever you want'. So I took the truck!"
"Bubba, you're a smart man!. Them clothes woulda never fit you!"

european english
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where! more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling. Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v". During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

high tech tonga
Suddenly there is a beeping sound. The American presses his forearm and the beeping stops. The others look at him questioningly.
"That's my pager, I have a microchip under the skin of my arm."
A few minutes later a phone rings. The Japanese lifts his palm to his ear. When he finishes he explains,
"That's my mobile phone. I have a microchip in my hand."
The Tonga, feeling decidedly low-tech but not to be outdone, decided he had to do something just as impressive. He steps out of the sauna and goes to the toilet. He returns with a piece of Toilet paper hanging from his butt. The others raised their eyebrows and said,
"Wow! What's that?"
"I'm receiving a fax," he explains.

seu amor e tudo que eu quero
Com você, o meu pensamento voa
Nunca fui assim com outra pessoa
Sei que é amor
Quero te amar, quero ser amado
Te fazer carinho, também receber
Quero ter na boca o gosto do seu beijo
O meu sentimento é mais do que desejo
O meu coração só bate por você
Seu amor é tudo que eu quero
Enquanto o sol nascer
Eu sei que vou te amar
Seu amor é tudo que eu quero
Em cada estrela, brilha um pouco do amor
Que eu tenho pra te dar

'06 Sonnet 18
I find you more beautiful and more gentle.
Strong winds blow in the much loved buds of the spring flowers
And the summer is way too short:
Sometimes, the sun shines too hot
And often it is hidden behind clouds
then everything that is beautiful is hidden in the shades.
And what is beautiful won't be beautiful forever
That will change by chance or by the way nature has planned to change the course
But you will always stay young,
And you will never lose the beauty that you own
Nor shall death claim you for his own
Because you will live forever,
As long as there is life on this earth,
So long will this poem live and give life to you.

romeo [v] juliet
Romeo: She speaks!
O speak again, bright angel - for thou art
As glorious to this night, being o'er my head
As is winged messenger of heaven
Unto the white - upturned wond'ring eyes
Of mortals, that fall back to gaze upon him
When he bestrides the lazy-pacing clouds,
And sails upon the bosom of the air.
Juliet: O Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo?
Deny thy father and refuse thy name;
Or if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love,
And I will no longer be a Capulet.
Romeo: Shall I hear more, or shall I speak at this?
Juliet: 'Tis but thy name that is my enemy
Thou art thyself, though not a Montague
What's a Montague? It's nor hand nor foot
Nor arm nor face nor any other part
Belonging to a man. O, be some other name!
What's in a name? That which we call a rose
By any other name would smell as sweet
So Romeo would, where he not Romeo call'd
Retain that dear perfection which he owes
Without that title. Romeo, doff thy name;
And for thy name; which is no part of thee
Take all myself.
